Cargo Space & Passenger Dimensions

With the 2016 Mazda CX-9, you can customize the cabin to create three unique cargo layouts, depending on your needs.

If you keep all three rows of seats in place, you’ll have up to 14.4 cubic feet of cargo space. However, if you stow the third row, that figure will jump up to 38.2 cubic feet. And, if you collapse both rear rows, you’ll get a maximum cargo capacity of 71.3 cubic feet!

By this point, you’re probably thinking, “Wait, three rows of seats?” That’s right! The 2016 Mazda CX-9 can accommodate as many as seven people comfortably. Just how comfortably?

Well, everybody will have tons of head room: 39.3 inches for front-row passengers, 38.5 inches for second-row passengers, and 35.4 inches for third-row passengers.

Everybody will have ample room for their legs, too: 41 inches in the front, 39.4 inches in the back, and 29.7 inches in the way back.

Mazda CX-9: Off-Road Capabilities

One of the Mazda CX-9’s best features is its intelligent all-wheel drive system: predictive i-ACTIV AWD®.

This available software will monitor the totality of driving conditions, from braking patterns to throttle input to outside temperature, and more. Then, it’ll use this information to determine when all-wheel drive is necessary.

It’ll keep you upright and on track by distributing torque between the front and rear axles. Whether you’re facing rain, snow, ice, rock, sand, grass, or any other difficult terrain, Mazda’s available i-ACTIV AWD® has you covered.
